Iran's Top Leader and Lawmakers Lash Out at US Over Nuclear Deal
Iran's top leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, and lawmakers have strongly criticized the United States over its decision to withdraw from the 2015 nuclear deal, known as the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA).
Khamenei, who has the final say on all state matters, called the US withdrawal "a big mistake" and accused Washington of "lying" about its intentions. He also warned that Iran would not be intimidated by US sanctions and would continue to develop its nuclear program.
Iran's parliament, known as the Majlis, also passed a bill that would require the government to take steps to increase uranium enrichment and to develop a nuclear-powered submarine. The bill was approved with 240 votes in favor and only one against.
The lawmakers also called for the government to take revenge against the US for its withdrawal from the deal. The bill is seen as a response to the US decision to re-impose sanctions on Iran, which has had a significant impact on the country's economy.
The US withdrawal from the JCPOA has been widely criticized by other signatories to the deal, including the European Union, France, Germany, and the United Kingdom. The deal was intended to prevent Iran from developing nuclear weapons in exchange for relief from international sanctions.
The situation has raised concerns about the potential for conflict in the region and has led to increased tensions between Iran and the US.
